#Trump100Days Trump's First 100 Days: Crypto's Wild Ride
The opening act of Trump's presidency has reshaped the crypto landscape, delivering both breakthroughs and turbulence for digital assets. As the self-proclaimed "crypto president," Trump's administration has implemented significant regulatory reforms, appointing industry allies like Paul Atkins and David Sacks to key positions while dismantling Biden-era enforcement actions against major platforms.
His executive order promoting regulatory clarity and the establishment of the first White House crypto summit signaled Washington's evolving stance. Institutional barriers fell with the repeal of restrictive banking rules, driving stablecoin market capitalization to $240 billion and attracting $3.85 billion into Bitcoin ETFs.
However, Trump's aggressive tariff policies triggered market-wide selloffs, with Bitcoin plunging from its $109,114 inauguration peak to $80,000 by mid-April. Crypto assets behaved more like risk-on investments than inflation hedges during the resulting economic uncertainty.
Most controversially, Trump's personal crypto ventures—including the volatile $TRUMP token—have raised serious conflict-of-interest concerns as his administration's policies potentially inflate his own digital holdings.$BTC $ETH $SOL
